    Big Boots

    My favourite boots are Bone. They look like your toon is wearing actual boots without being huge, and you get the yummy shiny texture. Same goes for the glove version as well.
  2. This forum is for a game rated 16+, it is not a childrens site at all. So no. GR can have as many horrific sexual deviancy convictions as he likes.

    As to the law, it is merely filling in a gap that would have been allowing convicted paedophiles to interact with children, which is bad. It's a good piece of legislation.
  3. Ah don't worry Damzion, he's whining across the length and breadth of the kingdom.
  4. As far as I've noticed, although I haven't thought about it much, levelled items like recipes and enhancements won't show up if it has none for sale and no outstanding bids.

    A lot of the time when I'm doing inf transfers I'll put on a low level training enhancement with none being sold and no outstanding bids, and have to wait a moment for it to appear when I go to buy it on another toon, because it takes a little while for the server to put it back in the visible list. I just assumed this is because you'd end up with the lists being enormous due to every single level bracket being displayed despite many of them having absolutely no current activity. It's not perfect, but probably saves a whole ton of throughput.

    Words cannot describe how much I hate the Enforcer boots.

    Nekomimi is the Japanese term for catgirls. Kind of narrows things down a bit I suppose.

    Although it would be more hilarious if it's some sort of composite reference to Sapphic Neko and the Mimi sex toys.

    EDIT: That last bit sounds like the name of an awesome band....
  7. "Hello Skipper LeGrange, got any missions for me?"
    "Thank Goodness you're here Hero! The Fir Bolg are performing a ritual that will ultimately push Salamanca into the ghost world. I need you to stand around, bored to tears for half a damn hour, swatting little groups of Fir Bolg that spawn and try to run into a doorway I need you to protect!"
    "I've already done that mission."
    "You've already done that mission."
    "And these aren't the droids you're looking for."
    "Those aren't the droids I'm looking for."
    "And you're an idiot."
    "I'm an idiot."

    Pretty much how I use the 'drop mission' option. Bugs? Nah.
  8. It's kind of a comfort to me that I now know he won't bother reading any more of this thread.

    "I don't bother reading any more of a thread when people just start whining."
    "Quick everyone! START WHINING!"

    Yeah. We know how to bait a hook over here in Europe!

    The only high impact death causing incidents around here happen when someone jumps off the top of the St. George's Indoor Market car park to their deaths. Admittedly, living in Stevenage can do that to you, but still.

    Also, Stevenage isn't a city, it's a town. Ask Lewis Hamilton, he was born here. Also Xanthus...and we never see the two of them in the same room at the same time.


    ...Hmm.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    At least you weren't born here. I'm stuck with the horrible condition of this chav infested hole being my damn home, by extension meaning I have a perverse pride in its monumental nose dive from being an unremarkable new town into a drunken cesspit of sponging teenage mothers with fewer IQ points than a can of beans, and raceway for various methods of chavscum transportation that are an insult to the awesome progress of human civilisation and thousands of years of history required to produce the small, poorly designed internal combustion engines these whooping baboons obsess over.

    It's MY dump! And by Satan and everything unholy in the world, ONLY I GET TO SAY HOW BAD IT REALLY IS!

    I can categorically state that I don't live there. I don't even know where it is. Does it have any redeeming features (besides your august presences I mean)?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It has what was the first traffic free shopping zone in Britain, is matched only by places like the Forest of Dean for access to large woodlands, has some of the tallest streetlights in Britain, and one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Britain! Thankyou Wikipedia, and God bless Stevenage!

    ...How many of us live in Stevenage, now? I can count at least four

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Me, you, Stasis and Captain Txtspk. Anyone else? Hopefully someone I don't like, I never get to fight anymore.
  12. This thread is inherently flawed. Purples are not supposed to be easy to get in any way.

    Speed isnt everything just as burst isnt everything. But is still say yes to Klahs

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It is with Brutes. The sheer speed of Claws combined with its almost non-existant endurance cost is a combo custom built for Brutes and would be utterly unfair. Fury could be built with pointless ease and without significant end cost to worry about. Claws already hits seriously hard as a Scrapper primary, translated onto a Brute with the sheer speed allowing it to maintain constantly vicious levels of high Fury, it's not balanced.

    Dual Blades can manage speed once you've got enough attacks to counteract the recharge, and pays for it in endurance as well as significantly reducing the amount of spare powers and slots you'll have to play with. My Claws Scrapper has a non-stop attack chain of just four single target attacks which was completed at level 18, and wouldn't even need Follow Up thanks to Fury, so three on a Brute.

    our game stores in stevenage r [censored] lol its all wow in there or xbox. though stopping to have a costa hot choco was nice the other day hehe

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Your post, to the astute, as an example of the average customers, provides ample evidence as to why our Game stores offer nothing but Xbox and World of Warcraft in Stevenage. Customer profiling is the bane of my shopping life.
  15. [ QUOTE ]
    You mean like with Dual Blades right now?

    Now Spines Brutes would be overpowered.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, Dual Blades is a joke compared to Claws for sheer speed. The recharge times on Claws are barely existant; in fact with but the smallest effort you can make Swipe its own attack chain, an attack which is, you'll note, faster recharging than Brawl with the same .83 second animation time.

    I'm a mouse clicker instead of one of those keyboard number pressers, and on my Scrapper it's starting to become a bit of an effort to keep up with the attack chain.

    Its all shiney

    Everything has been shiny since Villains was released, you just needed to have the texture settings high enough to get it.
  17. Which GAME in Stevenage are you in Stasis? Because if it's the one opposite Costa, you should know I'm considering burning it down for having such a criminally small section for PC games, thereby forcing me to go all the way down to the other one.

    I didn't make this decision lightly, the ex-Gamestation guy who used to love my hat is in that one as well.

    Coincidence?

    Yeah, it definitely looks like a Silencer who has had every detail except the armour colour changed.

    That's my smart alec way of saying they look nothing alike, not even the things you pointed out, which in the case of the faceplate and weapon, are flat out completely wrong.

    I've thought about that before....it would be hilariously unbalanced. Take about a nanosecond to reach full fury in pretty much any situation at all.

    And the funny thing is, Khorak, that someone who expresses themself as eloquently as you just did obviously doesn't need to pepper their conversation with Acute Anglo-Saxon.

    That's a compliment, by the way, not a dig. It may also be a comment on our desensitised society, but I have a headache and I'm not sure.

    As far as I'm concerned, I have a need to tell someone he/she a coprophage who prefers incestual intimacy, and I can't be buttocked to write out the whole phallic lot in complete self-fellating detail.

    If those posts where a stab at me, I guess you didn't actually read my post....

    You'll know if I stab you, because I'll do it in your face and consider it an insult if you think I'm doing it any other way.
  23. Defenders, Controllers and Dominators. I solo a lot, and these AT's are not built for it. I need constant carnage and/or massive damage numbers for my enjoyment.

    If I had friends for regular teaming, sure, but I wouldn't play these AT's outside of a team, which means I don't play these AT's.

    One persons bad language is another persons everyday method of speech.

    I hope you're not relying on the filter to tell you when people are swearing at you though - it lies like a cheap rug.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Exactly. While I don't do it in-game, such blithe swearing as, "Haha! F*** that!" is entirely meaningless to me in real life since I'm a thinking 25 year old. I know what tone and intent is.

    Although, despite me backing up that point, I still prefer not to swear when I feel I don't have a right to; any respectable public setting such as a restaurant for example, and I also refrain in front of children if I know they are there. If someone barges into my own private conversation with a friend in a place where I can express myself exactly as I wish, they will rather predictably get told in no uncertain terms, to go forth and fornicate.

    I support a degree of moderated speech in online communities such as in-game CoX. Swearing for the occasion makes sense; arriving in a mission and looking at the serried ranks of angry purples is definitely a "**** THAT!" situation. But just thoughtlessly dropping it into every sentence like I can, will and do with my close friends in real life just isn't on. I expect not to have some stick-up-bum prude whining at me every time I swear, in return I will maintain a level of responsible useage. Compromise.
